C. MONDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 23, 1952 GOP Factions Ignore Plea For Harmony WASHINGTON UP) An urgent plea for Republican unity was drowned today by the mounting roar of the Taft-Eisenhower battle over Texas’ 38 delegates to the GOP national convention. The plea came from Senate Re publican Leader Styles Bridges, a neutral in the hard-fought contest between Sen. Robert A. Taft and Oe;,. Dwight D. Eisenhower for the GCP presidential nomination. WARNS OF SPLIT He bluntly warned his party that it will go down to defeat in No vember if it is solit wide open by pre-convention “bickering.” His words were all but lost, how ever, in the angry charges of •‘fraud,” “corruption” “.rustling,” and “smear” that shot back and forth between the rival camps in the wake of Eisenhower’s first cam paign visit to Texas. In a speech at Dallas Saturday night, Eisenhower branded the Taft partisans ‘rustlers” who “flou ted majority rule.” and "stole” the Texas delegates by barring" Eisen hower backers from the state GOP convention. The National Citizens Commit tee for Taft replied with full-page newspaper advertisements today de claring that the general’s backers “are screaming ‘we wuz robbed' be cause they know they have lost the fieht ” CHARGE SMEAR ATTEMPT The committee said Eisenhower boosters were prooerty barred from the Texas convention because thev were merely “Democrats” trying to “nominate the weakest candidate for the Republicans.” It -said the defeated Eisenhower partisans in Texas ai» pot* trying to Agmear” Taft—something - “even 'the New Dealers ahd Fair Dealers” never tried to do. It was the hardest slap which the general had yet directed at his opponent, and he followed it up yesterday by telling a news con ference that he “cannot forgive cor ruption.” But in reply to a direct question. Eisenhower said flatly that he would not even “consider” running as a Democrat or as a third party can (Continued on pace twe) Farley Predicts Democrats May Strike Deadlock WASHINGTON, OF) Former Democratic National Chairman, Jayies A.

Paul Good Thursday I found $8.200 —with the help of a mine detector and three buddies from “C” Company of the 20th Engineer Combat Bat talion—and today I still feel like a character out of “Treasure Is land.” It all began about 9:30 in the morning when our CO Est Lt. Leslie Beam, called us into the orderly room and told us that the FBI wanted some mine detectors to search for buried cash, part ,of the Angier bank robbery haul. SPC Bruce Gurley, Cpl. John Dtkle, and Cpl. Harry Klyne climbed into a government sedan with two detectors and the car sped out to Highway 2XO and head ed toward Lillington. INTO THE THICKET We stopped about six miles out side the town near a little lull grown thick with pine and oak. “This is it,” said the FBI man end showed us the one acre area he wanted searched.

Face-saving language is what some top men in Americans’ for Democratic Action are suggesting to prevent a Southern bolt. They have not hit on just the right language to use to save the faces of Southern politicians and civil fighters, but they are working on it. FDR’S OFFSPRINGS ( Americans for Democratic Action is a splinter group. ADA for short, built around a core of veterans of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. Its membership is variously Demo cratic, Labor, Socialist, and inde pendent with some farm represen ! tation. ADA forced into the 1948 Demo | cratic platform the civil rights j plank which caused a major South -1 ern bolt to a state’s rights party. ADA has been promising in public j to .epeat this year, but with a stronger civil rights pledge. The suggestion for compromise coming from within the national committee which makes ADA policy means that this left wing group is considering a strategy as old es party politics. That is to write into a pclny statement language sufficiently am biguous as to permit it to be In terpreted one way in the Sou th, for example, and otherwise in the North where there are many Negro and other minority voters. Demo cratic candidates would be able to make their own interpretation of the party’s civil rights pledge to fit their local circumstances. , FACE-SAVING WORDS ( The face-saving language pres ently suggested would inclqd* In must be obtained tßlWgti Confptfcft. * Continued OH lW Play Set For Here July 13th Thursdav evening, June 26th, has been decided as the date on which the children’s Dlav, “The Stone in , tne Road” will be given by the , Little Theatre Group.
